  1. About 10 years or so ago, I had a guy come to my office to get his paperwork done to go overseas and get married. He was a clean cut guy, very friendly but kind of came off as a nerd, but the kind of nerd you don't mind being friends with, if that makes any sense. A dork that you wouldn't mind having a beer with. He was also short, hair thinning. I think he was in his early-mid 40s. He seemed pretty smart and he obviously had a good job becasue he could afford to pay for all of this shit. The worst part was just how OPEN he was about it. He didn't need to tell me why he was going to Viet Nam but he just blurted it out, "Can you believe I have to go to Viet Nam to find a wife???". He wasn't mad, rather he was poking fun at himself. I just said "hey, uh, you know" and looked away. Maybe he just got tired of striking out with the women here, maybe he was a huge pice of shit. Personally, I think he was autistic and couldn't make connections with women. Maybe the language barrier will help him.
  2. We got a letter from the IRS yesterday, telling us there was an issue with our tax return. They already cashed the check, so I don't know what else they wanted but I said we need to call our tax lady, who is an old family friend of my wife's. My wife is off today, so she went down to the tax lady's office to get it figured out. After an hour, she texts me to say "Can you find the envelope with last year's taxes? I need to know about the 1040". I'm like oh shit, I wonder what's up. I grab everything and get the forms out and text her, saying it's all in front of me, what info do you need? Her reply was "Oh, I don't need anything, Just wanted to make sure we had it".
  3. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ef6aa7ee-0ac9-11ee-997e-7710367054a0?shareToken=d2ead753c0d04ee6b15a1ffd386281cf Now it seems that everyone will get their share of the blood money. I wonder if any will turn it down?
  4. Here in OK, they changed the rule from 80 to 90, back in the early 90s. I didn't start until 2008 so I'm not done till 62. My goal is to buy a couple of years of service and retire at 60. But that depends on how easy my job is at that point. Here's a unicorn for you: My old boss retired after 50 years of service. She was on the rule of 80 but OK has a provision that if you keep working past your rule time, you get a 4% yearly increase on your retirement for every year you go over. She was 20 years past her rule of 80, so she's making bank. Of course the downside is that she didn't retire until age 70 and her health is in the shitter. She admitted to someone that she should have left years ago. Fuck working here for 50 years IMO.
  5. I would say that she needs extra sleep because she's tired from always pouring out her to-go drinks that she brings home from restaurants but never finishes, but I'm the one who does it.
  6. I was there in Nov/Dec and it was the same. Breezed through with Apply Pay, it was awesome.
  7. This is just bragging. My wife acts like getting up at 8 is illegal.
  8. Every shit-eating ou fan I know likes to drop the old "Ah alwayz root fer OSU when they ain't playin' Oh-Yew!" any time bedlam comes up in discussion. So I guess that means we're bound for huge Neilson numbers. Or whatever they use now.
  9. I got these Tozo T6 the other day. So far, I really like them. I'm also very cheap, so $20 is nice. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RGZ5NKS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
  10. I am going to assume that it reached it's destination on time, then. One theory I've always like is that UFOs aren't from outer space. They're actually humans from the very distant future who have travelled back in time to see what our shit was really like.
  11. I've got nothing against either of these guys but how much "magic" could there have been? I know who each of them are, individually. No idea they did SC together.
  12. So much for the blood money.
  13. LOL Travis doesn't do much for that site since they got bought out. He's too busy trying to be the next Rush.
  14. No offense but the source for that story is Greg Swaim. I'd sooner believe my mom came back from the dead and broke this news.
  15. Go to a wrestling dual where Iowa is participating. You'll change your tune.
  16. What's with the guys that don't wash their hands after taking a piss? If you're in there alone and you skip it, whatever. But when there's someone else in the bathroom, these guys that only do the most cursory splash of water on their hands, no soap, is just dumb. You KNOW they think it's wrong to not wash up because they do the bare minimum of washing and it's only so YOU won't think they're a fucking pig. Either stand firm to your no hand-washing stance or wash your hands like an adult.
  17. My BIL goaded my then teenaged nephew into eating 6 hot dogs during a cookout. "What, you ate 4 but you can't eat 6 of these? Weak!" I left not long after and I was told the aftermath was quite unpleasant. /csb
  18. I saw Magnum, P.I. tread water in the ocean for 48 hours, so I don't see the big deal.
  19. I always thought Madonna was the Queen of Pop. I could've sworn I've heard that somewhere.
  20. When I was selling my old house, the "staging expert" my wife knew told us we should take out the TV in the living room to "make it look better. No one wants a TV in the living room". I reminded her that we were still living there and would like to watch TV, so I declined her advice. Do these morons think that no one in America watches TV? Like a prospective buyer would turn down my house because there was a TV in the living room? This woman also said I should swap my bedroom around 180 degrees but could give me no reason when I asked what this would accomplish. Thank God we didn't pay her anything.

    Getting old sucks

    I almost fell down the stairs here at work. Don't know if I slipped or my knee gave out. I was able to flail out and catch myself on the railing but I scraped my knuckle on the brick wall. Also, my knees are screaming from having to suddenly bend and take all of my weight. My big toe is on fire as well, I think it got caught under me. Now, as hilarious as that is, I can't lie. After some of that nervous laughter you get after you avoid a serious catastrophe, I got scared. What if I had just smashed my face on the landing or worse, broke something? My heart was pounding like a mofo when I was telling my coworker about this. If I wasn't busy today, I'd just go home. #pussyalert
  22. Man, Tiger Woods was an endorsement machine even back then.
  23. American Pie and Hot Tub Time Machine are two that I wouldn't call great films but are fun as fuck.
